Our love story began in the most unexpected, yet beautiful way. After reconnecting with high school friends, I was introduced to someone who then connected me with Kyle’s boss and his wife. Little did we know, these seemingly small moments were part of a bigger picture. When Kyle first saw a picture of me, he immediately said, “I’m going to marry that girl.” That might sound like fate, but what really struck us both was how, from the very first conversation, it felt like we’d known each other in another lifetime. It was as though there were a million little invisible threads pulling us together—each one a small connection, a shared experience, a moment that had somehow aligned perfectly just for us. We spent hours on the phone that night, talking until 3 a.m. From that very first conversation, we knew there was something uniquely special between us—something that was always meant to be. As we celebrate our journey together, we are so excited to share this special day surrounded by the people we love most. It’s been a beautiful adventure and we can’t wait to continue building our future as the newlyweds—Mr. and Mrs. Shrader. Thank you for being a part of this unforgettable moment in our lives!
